Nah! If you don't have a dust collector, think Shop Vac, Mikey. Catch
it at the tool and there is no mess.

Larry, you'd have to do a quite workman-like job of collecting that dust.
Wood flour is the bane of metal machinery. It's also damned hard to
collect all of it with a vacuum cleaner -- there's just not enough volume
OR large enough cross-section of moving air to catch all the fugative
dust. That job really requires a high-volume dust collector.

Wood flour is created by -dull- tools. Keep 'em sharp and you get
shavings which are much larger in crossection.
